5 Cake Shops In Singapore To Get Your Kids The Birthday Cake Of Their Dreams
There is a new trend amongst new parents these days, and that is to hold extravagant baby showers and first birthday parties. The one thing these parties have in common is to have a gorgeous looking cake.
With a plethora of cake shops (online and offline) available in Singapore, we know that it can be a difficult task to narrow down to just one bakery. Moreover, it is your kid's first birthday and they will only turn one once. And like any parent, we want to ensure our kids get the best.
So, forget Bread Talk and Polar cakes, here are our top 5 picks for the prettiest kids' birthday cakes from local bakeries.
#1 CELEBRATE WITH CAKE!
If you are more than willing to splurge on a dessert extravaganza for your kiddo's first birthday party, Celebrate With Cake! is definitely one local cake shop you should check out. Celebrate With Cake! is well-known in the industry for pulling out all the stops for your loved one's birthday celebration.

Owner and Head Baker, Veronica Yang, also offers dessert tables for your child's birthday party. Not only does a dessert table complements the birthday cake, but it also adds a jaw-dropping flair to the overall look. The entire set-up includes a backdrop, foam standees, table décor, and the assortment of treats that will be customised according to the party's theme. Love to see more of her works?

#2 SUSANNE.DECOCHIFFON
Chiffon cakes have been a huge part of every Singaporean's life and it's only because of the iconic pandan chiffon cakes sold by local traditional bakeries. Home baker Susanne Ng realised that chiffon sponge is a practical choice for children's cakes as chiffon cakes tend to require a lesser amount of sugar compared to regular butter and fondant cakes.

Made from scratch, the cakes come in all kinds of designs. To create her designs, including the complex ones, Susanne uses tube pans, ball cake pans, and cake pop moulds (amongst other things), as well as moulding techniques to achieve the desired look. If you're looking for an adorable-looking cake that is easy to masticate, you can check out her Instagram here.
